Hi,Jackiesue.Hope you had a nice Turkey Day! You've got lots of good ones and I'm in "a mood" today so... The kind of sandwich would be a "Hero" of course 'cuz those two sinking and consumed by " bottom- feeders"( how ironically appropriate) would make a person a hero! I could think of LOTS of things the Repubs did TO the middle class...but let's see...hmmmm...oh,yeah, they removed that horribly stressful "striving to succeed" thing for us, our kids and our grandkids. No more of that silly "American Dream" to worry about. Hope you like where you are, 'cuz you'll be lucky to hold onto that. And I think we all know what "grownup " temper tantrums look like now. Ferguson is just too sad to think about even for me today. What a fucking mess. Will we EVER change?(sigh) On a MUCH lighter and less cynical note, if you want a smile or a unique gift,go to Archie Mcphee's site. They have bacon EVERYTHING! Actually had bought that Crazy Cat Lady for a friend : )... and she got me a tiny shrunken Freud. " Go to Buffalo..." Unless I have > 6 ft of snow around my house I will NEVER complain about the weather again! Wow, what a beautiful nightmare! Thanks,Jackiesue, I just might make it through this day. : D

Oh,YDG,I fear my cynicism has crept along the internet and seeped into your thoughts. Or...was it reality and life in general?(example: how's your truck?) Don't get me wrong,we are indeed profoundly and totally fucked,but I just left 's a g'kid's b'day party(I have 5 gr'daughters & 2 gr'sons) and received a double shot of hope. What strong capable girls and nurturing boys we are raising.I know I've done my Grammy job when I get a call from one of my kids asking:"just what did you guys talk about...?" That's where we can not let the bastards keep us down! Plant a seed. As for now...we enjoy every damned experience we want,don't take no shit and totally believe in Karma .( I know an occasional "fatty" also helps my frame of mind ; ) Some of us are clever enough to have blogs that make a difference (that would be you : ) in so many ways in so many lives.Have a gentle weekend,Jackiesue.

Jerri, my truck is fine..now..I want you to know how much I love your comments..I live for them...you do wonderful things for my swollen ego..If you blog..you must tell me how to find you and if you dont blog..you should..thanks for always making my day..

What kind, heartwarming words,Jackiesue! I'm glad you enjoy because I often feel guilty that I " go on" and use so much of your space! No,I don't blog. Time and life make it difficult right now. I'm just a woman with an overdeveloped sense of justice living in a world of...well,you know. I've discovered a kindred spirit in you (and your terrific followers here) and I find your same sense of justice (and delicious sense of humor) just what I need...and you let me "go on"...VERY cathartic ; ) If ever I would, you'll be the first to know and I am so flattered! Especially coming from you. Sometimes life and time grab me by the scruff of the neck and I don't make it for a couple days...I will always be back, for a dose of much needed sanity. You just made MY day! : )

Jerri----still think you should blog..you have a great way with words..and I think you might find it fun...you meet wonderful people (like you) and having people bouncing ideas off you is lots of fun...still making my day..
